Sorry Charlie....but you don't. I knew you wouldn't take the deal. I will speak out against equality, bigotry and homophobia like yours with my last breath and no right-wing fanatic will stop me.

Code pink is nobody.This cartoon is a cartoon. It isn't "I hate the troops".

You do not think comparing troops to suicide bombers/terrorist is sign of hatred for the troops?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear"

Are you implying that the Straights wouldn't be able to resist the Gays if sharing the same housing? They would all become Gay, in the absence of women and abundance of hot, gay men, muscles rippling, bars of soap dropping?

Re homosexual males and STD's, here it is, 2010, and going on three decades after the HIV issue was reproted, and yet homosexual males are still showing much higher rates of serious STD infection than the general population, despite all the ludicrous spin to the contrary.

A data analysis released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underscores the disproportionate impact of HIV and syphilis among gay and bisexual men in the United States.

The data, presented at CDC's 2010 National STD Prevention Conference, finds that the rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women.

The range was 522-989 cases of new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 MSM vs. 12 per 100,000 other men and 13 per 100,000 women.

The rate of primary and secondary syphilis among MSM is more than 46 times that of other men and more than 71 times that of women, the analysis says. The range was 91-173 cases per 100,000 MSM vs. 2 per 100,000 other men and 1 per 100,000 women.

While CDC data have shown for several years that gay and bisexual men make up the majority of new HIV and new syphilis infections, CDC has estimated the rates of these diseases for the first time based on new estimates of the size of the U.S. population of MSM. Because disease rates account for differences in the size of populations being compared, rates provide a reliable method for assessing health disparities between populations.

"While the heavy toll of HIV and syphilis among gay and bisexual men has been long recognized, this analysis shows just how stark the health disparities are between this and other populations," said Kevin Fenton, M.D., director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. "It is clear that we will not be able to stop the U.S. HIV epidemic until every affected community, along with health officials nationwide, prioritize the needs of gay and bisexual men with HIV prevention efforts."

No stats on homosexual men in the military's infection rates, but you can bet it's much higher than the norm, also, so any BS about military infection rates would have to distinguish between homosexual males and 'everybody else' to have any real meaning.

And of course the 'solution' is always to pointlessly waste yet more piles of money 'educating' them, as if it's actually possible not to have heard of AIDs in the homosexual 'community'.
